Hi RoDoGu..

 Allow me to quote the letter you mailed on 11 May 91

 R@> Does anybody has work in the Taylor Modula-2 compiler? What you can
 R@> say me
 R@> about it?

I worked with it. I worked also with M2SDS, TopSpeed and StonyBrook. In my
opinion TaylorModula is the best compiler you can buy for the pc. its not
cheap either. it has no environment and no editor (in the version I had).
there is the compiler, a linker and a library manager. the library is very
good. the documentation is VERY good. I think thats all. special questions?
yes, there is a incompatibility in long and short adressing. there are
special keyword no other m2-compiler understands like LVAR, LADR. I think
because they wanted to be very smart with the segmentation system on the pc.
you can tell the taylormodula-compiler in what adress model you want to have
your code: in small, medium and large memory model. do all your stuff in the
large model and you are on the save side, with no LADR, LVAR. it still
produces the smallest and (likely because of that) fastest code.

see ya
